THE SYMPHONY OF HEROES

Heroes of Might and Magic, one of the most famous franchises of strategy games, has managed to assemble an amazing community of players and fans of the incredible music composed by Paul Anthony Romero. Our team of gamemusic.pl had the honor to introduce that score to philharmonic halls in 2017 when it was played live for the very first time by a full symphonic orchestra of the National Forum of Music.

That event, named by us The Symphony of Heroes, drew hundreds of attendees to Wroclaw, Poland, where they could hear the world premiere of those unforgettable melodies in the form of three symphonic suites arranged specially for that occasion. The Symphony of Heroes is an elaborate work of art. After nearly two decades, the score brings to life the music form the second, third and fourth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic series in the form of brand new arrangements. Now, as part of the first Game Music Festival, the three unique suites will be once again performed live by the full NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic Orchestra, eighty musicians total, conducted by award-winning maestro Adam Klocek.

THE JAZZ OF GRIM FANDANGO

Exactly 20 years ago, Grim Fandango was released and it changed the video game industry forever. Its thrilling soundtrack takes you into the world of New Orleans’ jazz right from its first bars. A swinging percussion, a steady jerk of double bass strings, some offensive piano accents, and wonderfully sounding woodwinds. A timeless classic indeed! This performance will be a pure jazz feast. The best jazz-men of the Bartosz Pernal Big Band will take you back to twenties – with a twist.

We are delighted to announce that the Jazz of Grim Fandango concert will be a completely unique celebration of Grim Fandango and its music. It shall be the one of a kind 20th anniversary concert, and because of that, the composer himself will also attend the event personally! Peter McConnell will not only be present onsite throughout the whole Game Music Festival but will also join the big band on stage to deliver a truly spectacular performance.

This extremely emotional score is the basis of our magnificent Symphony of the Forest. Join the musicians of the National Forum of Music. They will take you on an unforgettable trip among the ancient woods.

It is our honor and privilege to give you a truly outstanding symphonic concert featuring the music of Ori and the Blind Forest.
